It seems the standard change many Pantera owners are making with stock campis

is to either put the 8" on the front and get some later 10" for the rear, or

even run 8" on all four wheels.



What additional stress does this extra 1/2" of offset (8" vs. 7") impose on the

front wheel bearings?  I take it clearance with a 245/50 is not a problem... ?



Does this little 1/2" change the suspension geometry much, and if so is it a

good or bad thing for cornering?
